DIMAPUR:
The Agniveer army recruitment rally to be held at Bhagat Stadium, Rangapahar military station in Dimapur from September 7 to September 15 has seen around 5,000 youth from Nagaland register for it.
The development was informed by Rangapahar military station army recruiting officer Col Rajesh at a coordination meeting of stakeholder departments under Dimapur district for the rally in Dimapur deputy commissioner’s office on August 10.

He also highlighted the need for medical staff including a doctor and ambulance during the entire rally period. He also sought at least five officials from the state education department to help them during verification of documents.
